Premise
Some octopus-looking pirate wants Captain Jack Sparrow for something...
Who should watch
Fans of the first movie (isn't that everybody?). Johnny Depp fans.
Thoughts
Funnier, quirkier, more outrageous, more special effects, more pirates and more Captain Jack Sparrow than the first one. But slower. Clocking in at 2 hours 30 minutes, this movie had one too many slow moments.
Well, the plot was somewhat confusing too, but same thing happened with the first movie for the first time.
The subplot about Will Turner's dad was rather interesting. And I enjoyed the unexpected character return.
What I would change
Sliced up the first act like a drunken pirate.
